For centuries man has sought the "fountain of youth, " and this pursuit is still popular today as evidenced by the popularity of youth serums in print ads, news stories, infomercials and internet "informational" sites.

The position of the brows affects the appearance of the entire face, but most importantly, the appearance of the eyes. The aging forehead skin thins and weakens, and brows tend to descend, causing the thick skin beneath the brows to cover the eyelids. By surgically elevating the eyebrows, the brows themselves can be aesthetically shaped, and the excess skin of the upper lids reduced, often minimizing the need to remove the eyelid skin directly. You have excessive forehead wrinkles and/or excessive upper eyelid skin due to sagging brows.

Chin augmentation is a relatively minor procedure in which the prominence of an underdeveloped jaw is accentuated with a solid silicone chin implant. Chin augmentation is often done in conjunction with rhinoplasty since a balance between the nose and chin are important to facial beauty. If you have a weak, receding, or asymmetrical chin, this procedure may be a suitable plastic surgery solution. Some patients seek this procedure after a disfiguring accident or to adjust a birth defect. Good candidates have healthy teeth and a normal bite.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, which removes excess skin of the upper eyelids and the bags under the eyes, goes a long way to make one look younger. Blepharoplasty is ideal for patients with overhanging upper eyelids and heavy bags or puffiness under the eyes. Some patients may complain about heavy eyelids that obstruct their upper visual field.
